Selyna’s POV
I’m glad I decided to take Ashe and Alpha Sean up on training. The last two mornings have been filled with training. If nothing else I think I have a new friend in Riff. She is a badass fighter, who I got to see in action when she squared off against some big guy named Cody. The guy had at least a foot on her height wise and was twice as wide as her, but she kicked his ass. I had also gotten to see Ashe in action, and I gotta say any doubt that my bestie could be my protector are gone. They are far better fighter than I had anticipated. They are always so laid back about people who talk shit about them or try to start stuff, either letting things roll off of their back or diffusing the situation with humor, I never would have expected the speed and stamina with which my friend fights. Riff and Ashe both taught me a few new defensive moves, along with the ones
Damian’s POVShe looks delectable! I look down the stairs at the gorgeous woman talking to my stepmother, the women look so alike, yet so very different. Selyna is not petit, but a good 6 inches shorter than Dianna whm id nearly 6 ft tall. She has soft, luscious curves that tempt me to touch her and feel her softness, whereas my stepmother has a slender yet muscular build (she is long and lean).I walk down the stairs and stand before her stammering. Goddess, I feel like an idiot! When did I forget how to utter complete sentences? I look at her. That pendant somehow seems familiar: the crescent moon and light blue stones are stunning, but not as stunning as the cleavage just below so I don’t ponder the jewel for more than a brief moment before wishing I could bury my face
Selyna POVStretching as I sit up I suddenly realize that I slept better than I have in a week. The events of last night replay in my head and my cheeks flush aas I remember that kiss, and deeper as the memory of the power that ran through me and how I had caused half of the city power to blackout.I yawn and deepen my stretch before hopping out of bed and strolling to the bathroom to prepare for my day. The shower calls to me and I oblige.After showering and toweling off I get dressed. It’ll be a day with the coven, so comfortable will be necessary, but after last night’s kiss I feel a little sexy and flirty. I grab my bratmobile tee and A-line corduroy mini skirt and striped over the knee socks with my Chuck Taylor’s. After swooping
Damian’s POVI am nervous. I’m not used to these feelings. Usually I feel a general disdain and mistrust, bursts of anger and bitterness are common, even sadness, which I hide with my anger. With the exception of my two closest friends and maybe my half siblings I keep everyone at arm’s length, but his gorgeous little witch has me feeling nervous and excited and all kinds of other unfamiliar feelings have been surfacing.‘It’s just a ride on your bike’ Steele grumbles as I try on the third shirt that I have pulled out of the closet. ‘It’s not like you are gonna fuck her tonight. We might want to but you won’t risk the damage her magic can do and I know it.’ I roll my eyes and look in the mirror. I like this one…a royal blue button up shirt, it makes
Damian’s POVI awoke before dawn, having had a second night in a row with fabulous sleep. I got up and ready for training, even managed to grab some coffee and a bite to eat before grabbing water bottles for myself, Selyna, Spooky, Riff and Ashe. I can still feel the buzz and hum of power beneath my skin, but it has dulled some…it feels like it is becoming part of me, weird. I know I can’t become a witch. ‘Your right witches are born not made, but we have witch ancestors and I am a special wolf. Now that you mention it I have been feeling more alive and aware ever since that first kiss and the one last night made me even more so’ Steele is pacing in my head with an excitement he hasn’t shown since just before our first shift. ‘So this has done something to us, changed us somehow?’ I ask. ‘Not really, I think
Selyna’s POVLast night I created the dreamlink with my parents unintentionally, the euphoria I was feeling after the date was enough to send my Power into high gear. They told me that my pendant is a protection amulet that I should not take off until we had rescued them, together we were stronger than almost anything. I told them about the prophecy Storm had recited to the coven and they told me that while they had been drugged and their powers suppressed for their trip they had the sense that they had traveled south, at least a day, maybe more.I didn’t tell them about the date, but did tell them that I was training with Alpha Sean. They didn’t confirm anything, but I am beginning to suspect that Rayanne was correct. The only thing that makes me still disbelieve is that I have no wolf and her niece, this super rare child of werewolf and witch that carried both full witch
Selena POVSomeone had betrayed the pack! I helped Damian to his feet calling for help. Ashe was immediately at my side, helping me to half carry a beaten and bruised Damian. He had been weakened and could barely stand. Others upon seeing us rushed over, but I pushed them away, calling for Dianna. She came over and we rested Damian on the ground, letting him lean heavily against me as we sat on the grass. I summoned Alicia and Rayanne to assist me in healing him.We called for a joint Pack and Coven investigation and meet at the Old Town Hall a couple of hours later. Damian is still weak and was seated between Alpha Sean and Rayanne, me by her side. I had brought Damian his favorite coffee and a pastry. He seems a bit glazed over but takes them thankfully and his saddened eyes meet mine as he attempts a weak smile for me.
Damian’s POVI had been taken aback by Ashe mentioning Selyna’s parents dreamlinking, not as much about the fact that the witches had seemed to know about it while Ashe was the only wolf shifter to know about it and had betrayed Selyna’s trust. She was not only forgiving but forthcoming. There really was no way either Ashe or I would let her go alone into any danger.Now I am standing in front of everyone, putting on a show of strength despite still healing slowly from the magical ambush and having expelled my own power a bit with those blasts that started the fire. It had been the alarms blaring from the fire that made the witches teleport out without subduing and taking me, like they had intended.“Are you sure it was Amber?” m
Alpha Sean’s POVI knew they were hiding something but their reactions to the question varied. My son went pale, his heart racing and guilt spreading over his face. A look I hadn’t seen on his face since he was a young boy and stood in this very office confessing to Dimitri about having broken the lock on the princess’s door because the younger child had had a nightmare and he wanted to soothe her. His heart had been in the right place at the time, he hadn’t realized the lock was meant to keep dangerous kidnappers at bay because we had all feared people would come for her if anyone found out she was a hybrid unlike any other, having full powers of both parantages is unheard of. But the little witch had actually slowed her previously racing heart and calmly replied “We had gone out for air, Damian had lit a cigarette and I had meant to flick it out of his hand,
I have decided after long thought not to continue this story as it is currently written...I want to restructure and plan it better. A Hope For Moonlight has a lot of potential, but my writing style and organizational skills have changed much over the years since I started it. With that said, I intend to go over the manuscript and create a more detailed outline that will combine the story as I had originally wanted it to be but will be more focused and better organised, it will better detail the prophecies and continue into the next generation so that we may see the fullfillment of the prophecies. I do not know when I will get around to this as I have a lot on my plate, but it is something I will be starting to look at as soon as I have a few works in progress completed, or near completion. I have many ideas that I would like to better flesh out so that the work flows better and goes off the rails less.Thank you.
Author”s Note: This is long overdue, but I wanted to thank those of you who have read this far and those of you have been patiently awaiting updates. For over a year now my life has been a mess…I lost one Grandmother and with her, my day job, only to have mental health issues for both myself and my children become an issue, along with financial strain and struggling to find work (I still do not have a day job at this time), I am still struggling a lot and my other grandmother also passed away this past autumn. Despite all that is happening I do intend to continue writing, but I have not been feeling the werewolf genre lately. I will continue with sporadic updates as inspiration strikes, but will also be working on developing some ideas that are dancing around in my head into stories. I have been feeling strongly called to bring my LGBTQ+ characters to the forefront. I may in the future write a more in depth story better chronicling Ashe’s story, however, I am not going to gu
Selyna’s POV Luna Luz is a blast! She and I took our baby bumps to the dance floor as soon as we got to the club, letting the guys talk. Yes, I know that technically I am the Alpha, but tonight is not about business. We are up for fun tonight, before getting serious about what we are up against and finalizing rescue plans over the next couple of days, so tonight we are getting to know our allies. “Tell me, Alpha Selyna…are you Cuban, even in part? You almost look like you could be my little sister!” Luz giggles as she sways her hips in time to the music perfectly. I laugh, “I hardly look anywhere near as exotic as you! My mother’s family is mostly English, but may have ties to several European countries and my Father’s side is Greek!” The exotic beauty in front of me blushes a bit, but seems surprised by my answer. “Of course, I had heard this! You just look similar to myself and move so naturally to the Salsa music and I forgot that I already knew of your family
Damian’s POV The hotel room is beyond luxurious and Alpha Franco left Selyna and I clothing and champagne with a note to meet him and his mates downstairs in the lobby at 7PM. He said that if the clothing doesn’t fit, to call him with a cellphone number which is different from his contact number that we have. I am thinking maybe it is his personal line, rather than the contact through the packhouse. The man has expensive taste. I shower in the extravagant shower with the rainfall and massaging jets. The citrus and spice scented body wash feels like silk on my skin, and the Versace shirt he left with the skin tight jeans (also Versace) is of a purple and teal silk. That is far more color than I am used to wearing in one shirt, but I do not want to offend this Alpha, he has a reputation for elaborate parties and unprecedented entertaining, yet rarely lets anyone truly close. There are rumors about his family having ties to the Old Florida Mafia, but none that have been confirmed.
Selyna’s POV Damian and I basically carry Aunt Rayanne back to our hotel room. She is a mess and will be spending the night with us, So much for more private time with my handsome mate. As Damian unlocks the door I look out over the pool area and feel a cool breeze. It’s warm in Florida in December, but the night air is cool and refreshing. Too bad my aunt is too far gone to enjoy the beauty of the place we are in. Damian throws the door open and puts an arm around Rayanne’s other side so we can haul her into the room. Her head lols to the side and she giggles a little mumbling “I don’t know why Hecate would do such a thing to me…I th..think she…she cursed me...*hiccup*...I don’t even like girls that way! I’ve been fighting this way too long!*hiccup* Wolves are lucky they can reject mates! *hiccup*Once Hecate sets a match up you're stuck! S…so you two are lucky you l…lo…love each
Damian’s POV We walked into the clearing and I immediately spot Riff in human for with claws extended slashing through rogues and a giant alligator, that I really hope is Earl. He’s snapping at several rogues in front of him while more come at him from behind hoping to get the drop on him. Sheila must have seen them going after him the same time I do, because her scream echos through the clearing as she leaps forward shifting. I shift and jump in taking out two of the three closest to Earl’s tail. I feel a bolt of lightning pass me hitting a wolf in the chest in midair just as he was leaping at me and see Storm’s fingers crackling with electricity. Selyna is standing to her left doing something with her hands but I don’t have time to watch my mate. We are outnumbered but making quick work of the rogues who have yet to register just what they have gotten into. Bubbles fly by on my ri
Selyna’s POV Twice more during our trip I felt that surge, but that van had not followed us. It was a strange feeling, like something was trying to both feed my power and simultaneously use my energy. Damian and the others didn’t let me drive for the rest of the trip. We are close to northern Florida right now, driving through Alabama, but I need to stretch my legs and use the facilities so we stop at a rest stop. Riff is outside the door to the lady’s room when Rayanne and I are finishing freshening up and I hear a low growl. Spinning around I see an unfamiliar she wolf. I know she is a rogue wolf shifter because I can smell her. “We don’t take kindly to her kind around these parts!” She inclines her head towards my aunt as she drawls with her southern accent. “What are wolves and witches doing traveling together?” &nb
Selyna’s POV I was sure to pack our bags with a variety of clothing to suit the varying climates, as shifters the difference wouldn’t be as pronounced as it is for the witches, but we would still need jackets and long pants up north and things more suitable to the hot weather when we go south, plus comfort would be a factor in choices and being sure we had some clothes in case we had to shift without changing out of our clothes. I just finished zipping the suitcases when Damian came up behind me with a tray full of food. “Come on, my queen! Let’s have some lunch before we have to gather everyone together to go over the plan and make sure they are all prepared.” He smiled at me and gestured to our sitting area. Thinking back on t
Daman’s POV Since breaking the curse Selyna’s appetite has returned and she seems to be feeling much better, she did have some nausea but after what she experienced before we broke the curse it is minor. The last few nights since breaking the curse we have bathed together using the bundles of herbs and the uncrossing soap. Of course we have our fun in the tub while getting clean. Today is going to be a long day. We are packing and preparing for the mission. Her beautiful eyes meet mine as lay luggage out for the two of us. It’s December so it is cold up here, but it is still warm in Florida which is where we are driving down to, so we will need to pack accordingly with clothes for varying climates. I see her smile at me, sweetly. “What are you thinning, my sexy demon? You look so serious!” She questions with an impish smirk. She sidles up to me then grabs my waist, her slim fingers gently tr
